11/16/2008 -- NOTE: Because of an injury, we haven't been able to get out to our boxes this year. We hope to maintain them in the spring. Until then, our apologies if they're not findable, or in bad condition. -- Ace + Lox
LOCATION: Turkey Hill Reservation is located at the end of Dodge Street in Arlington, MA. For directions, go to http://www.mapquest.com/directions and, where it asks for Address or Intersection, type Dodge Street and Forest Street.
WALK INFO: 20 minute walk, but longer with clues and views
STAMP: Hand drawn & carved
BRING: Pen & paper for working out clues
INFORMATION: The Arlington Park and Recreation Commission oversees most of Turkey Hill. Tucked into northwest Arlington, this wooded 12 acre site surrounds a water tower, and features lots of berry bushes and nice views.
CLUES: Walk up the drive. As you come to the tower, there is a closed gate ahead, but a round GATE below. Using this GATE as a map of the tower, if you are at E, find the sign at ET. Using the sign at ET, decipher and record your first codeword: 19 4 8 3 5 4.
Two trails lead into the woods. To find the right one, you’ve heard that x marks the spot, but in this case, the giant XX marks the spot. Just as you start on the trail, look back and find the "striking" red L_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ B_ _ _. Record B_ _ _ as your second codeword.
Proceed along the trail. When it splits, take either fork. After they rejoin, look for your first codeword and turn down the trail opposite it. Follow this trail... enjoy the views! Keep walking along the ridge, then back into the woods.
Continue past a large rocky outcropping on the right. Keep going until you see your second codeword, smack in the middle of the trail. Take your next left. Stand at the first block. 10 feet away, under a small shrub is what you seek.
After stamping in, please take the time to hide and cover it carefully. To get back, turn around, and you’ll see the tower. The trail you’re on leads back to it.
